II IS one Of the misfortunes OF Washington that
attempts, generally well meant to secure the cor
rection OF apparent or imaginary local evils 20 no
farther IN their results than 10 dangle the capital
before the eyes OF the American people as 'a hot
bed OF vice." or ga sink OF drunkenness or the
quintessence OF bad government. No argument IS
required TO prove that immortality and drunken
ness exist In our large cities Washington included
and TO one who has had the opportunity OF CON-
parng, no argument IS necessary 70 prove that
washington has less concealed vice, and vastly
less open vice OF that kind than any other city OF
It's size In the country. Reformatory efforts in
stead Of breeding ISLANDERS upon the city, upon its
form OF government, and upon the personal char
acters Of the Commissioners, should be carefully
directed towards securing the correction by the
commissioners Of specific abuses under existing
laws, and to the procurement of more effective
legislation upon such subjects from Congress. The
importance Of the last purpose must not be over
looked Washington Is well governed and pros
porous In spite Of and not through her laws. Wise
legislation which modern thought and experience
have placed upon the statute books of the states Is
as much denied TO her as If her legislature was
composed of body OF citizens from central Africa,
which held its sessions at the source OF the Nile
and enforced its laws from that distance. Effort
after effort has been made throughout her history
10 obtain even substantial foundation of statute
law In the shape OF code, which might dispace or
the lncOnSlSltnt ana largely ODSOlete ST.
lection OF English and Maryland statutes passed
prior TO 1901, and the Maryland declaration OF
rights which, with patches OF Congressional legis
lation, disfguring rather than strengthening the
garment, constitute In the main the Joseph's coat
Of District statutory law. The subject of NUM-
Ctpal code for the District IS now before the Con-
gress10nal committees, IL has been at short IN
tervals ever since the ten miles square became the
ward OF the nation 1t is probably too late In the
session to expect any thoughtful action the sub
1ect. It has always been found too early or too
late In the session for Congress to act the pa
tent and interested legislature Of the District.

Mrs. Flora Moore, of ST. Louis, is here

Mr.. johnson has resigned the agency

Two Kinds of Men

This, from an exchange, is pointed and
true 1T takes live men to make live
town. Dead men are only fit to inhabit
cemeteries. If they are decently dead
dead all over, we tenderly lay them away
in the sleep of the tomb; but if they are
dead TO all enterprise, outside of the mar
row plane of their own interests, and vet
persist IN walking around, moving their
dry bones and calloused hearts and con-
sciences where real estate is wont to throb
with yigOr, they are only like the droue
bees, in the way until they are stung to
death and dragged outside the hive to
legitimate industry. Twenty real live
men are worth more to the town and
public generally than a round full thou
sand of useless material, that lies around
like rubbish in rising stream, that is
aching and fOaming to turn mills and
factories. Yes, live men bless, and dead
men curse town. The advertising col
umnS of newspaper generally show who
live men are, especially those in bust
ness"

Ratner Of Twentx.Six

Mercer county has patriarch who is
nearly so years old and is the father Of
twenty>six children. This interesting
parsonage, who is hale and hearty and
apparently destined to become centen>
marian. is Hope Mills. ESQ.,. who for
SO years has lived on Copperas creek.
He was born and raised in Ohio. and says
he can distinctly remember the day in
1919 when his father went out under
Hull to fight the British. He was
first married in Ohio and had ten
children by his first wife. On her
death he married again and moved 10
Fulton county, Ill. where two more chill
dren were born to him. His second wife
then died and he married his present wife
who was then only seventeen years old
being now fifty six. Three years later they
went to Copperas creek and have resided
there ever since. Fourteen children have
blessed this latter union, making Mr..
Mills the father of twenty-aix children in
all.
When asked recently how many were
living, MIR. Mills said it was hard to rec>
ollect. but finally figured out that there
were sixteen, the oldest of whom is fifty
seven years, the youngest fourteen. Only
four children still remain under the pa
terual roof. Mills is member of the

Ii is no longer question of doubt
although the contrary was once believed
that medicines which would produce
violent effects are unsuIted TO other than
desperate emergencies. In other words, tina,
super-potent remedies are calculated to
weaken and inJure the system rather than
reform its irregularities. Among medi-
clnes of facilitating effect are cathBrtics
